It was great to speak with @bradloncar @BiotechTVHQ about my thesis work in @carlhjune’s lab and about the initiative @KristenHege started to support early career women here at the Center for Cellular Immunotherapies

@casanova_lab Thanks for highlighting our work!

Spectacular discovery that STING GOF mutations can strike adults:
Adult-onset STING-associated vasculopathy https://t.co/Ug82zOJcpF

[Journal of Human Immunity @jhumimmunity]

STING gain-of-function has primarily been described to cause pediatric-onset disease. Here, Riley, Kotzin, @FinckAmanda, @miner_lab et al. report a surprisingly high prevalence of adult-onset #SAVI among patients with common #autoimmune disease diagnoses. https://t.co/7B1JDpJ5bm

@Nfcanavan Thank you, Neil, I enjoyed your book!

🚨Paper alert from the June Lab🚨

What if the better answer to solid tumor CAR T cells lies outside the tumor itself?

Excited to share my PhD thesis work with @CarlHJune now out as a preprint on bioRxiv! We show that engineering IL-9 signaling enhances CAR T cell antitumor efficacy by steering them toward potent memory and effector states.

Excited to share our new story from the lab in close collaboration with the Love lab @kochinstitute. Here is brief summary: ever wondered where T cells expand following immune checkpoint blockade therapy? The answer is in the white pulp of the spleen.
